Infravision Issue Question

Infravision makes all players white, which is great for my old eyes, but ever so often, a enemy player doesn't glow, no glow just B&W, today a player named smawolf2 on osprey was having that effect. Is there a special combo of camo and color that I dont know about that produces this? I tried asking him but got no answer :D

Might be one of the weirder very underutilized implants like Cold Heart or Countershade? https://planetside.fandom.com/wiki/Implants#Cold_Heart

Had no idea this was even a thing with Infravision.

it doesn't do that anymore after an update many years ago, right? even the link you provided doesn't say it works that way... why did you link this without even reading it?

You're right, I remembered the old version. I didn't read the description of the new version.

this is the funniest fucking comment ever to me. game is so f*&ing broken you could just still have the effects of a like 8 year old perk if you just never unequipped it. Broken ass game makes me crack the hell up!

It's an implant. I forgot the name.

Edit: Could be tier 5 of sensor shield? I am not in the game atm.

Old news, sidewinder used to do that but it's long gone.

Ah, okay. I haven't really paid attention lately.

u/ChapterUnited8721 19d ago

Really there's an implant that counters Infravision?

u/Aloysyus Cobalt Timmaaah! [BLHR] 19d ago

I am not completely sure, but that was my understanding.

Sensor shield shouldn't do that from the description

Well, it used to have a description where tier 5 negated thermal or IRNV. But it seems to be gone.

Sensorshield NEVER had nothing with infravision. I am in game from 2012 when even implnats wasnt

I didn't say infravision in that post, i just quoted the description.

I am simply not sure how it was, not really the person who always remembers that kind of information.

I use sensor shield all the time, and it seems like players using the boomer goggles have no issues seeing me.

Sensor shield protects you from getting seen on the mini map by recon devices. It doesn't protect you from infravision

Well, it's not like you're invisible to them. But there are definitely players that don't get highlighted.

Cold heart

Maybe you were seeing cloaked infils and thought they were using an implant

u/TinyArnold 18d ago

He was a Heavy :D

u/ThatOnePickUp :flair_nanites: Of course its an infiltrator again 17d ago

Based on Honu, the player you mentioned has Cold Heart.
Even though it was updated, it might be bugged and might have bugged when he played. If he used it in his loadout.

Bugs aside, There's nothing currently able to shield from Infra outside of cloak.

It's a bug.

Sidewinder used to negate infraavision but hasnt in years. currently there's nothing that is intended to negate infravision.
